Amendment 8 #
Motion for a resolution Recital H H. whereas with the building-up of four global and two regional satellite navigation systems by different international actors, speed is a vital element for Galileo in order
Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution Recital H a (new) Ha. whereas the insufficient funding for the GNSS programmes led in 2007 to a revision of the current MFF which increased the ceiling for Heading 1a by €2.4 billion for the period 2007-2013, and again in 2010 the Commission proposed an MFF revision to increase the ceiling for Heading 1a, owing to a shortage of funding for the ITER project; emphasises that such ad hoc, emergency solutions are likely to jeopardise the success and added value of strategic, large-scale EU projects and undermine the political momentum around them, whereas, therefore, sound, global and long-term solutions for their funding must be devised instead,

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 5. Believes that IOC, able to provide initial services based on 18 satellites, should be completed by 2014 at the latest to ensure that Galileo does indeed become
Amendment 26 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 6. Is convinced that the aim of Full Operating Capacity (FOC), based on a constellation of 27 satellites plus a suitable number of spare satellites and adequate ground infrastructure, is a prerequisite to attain the added value of Galileo in terms of authentication, high precision and uninterrupted service and therefore to reap the economic and societal benefits; believes that clear and unambiguous support from all European Institutions to the fulfilment of FOC is needed to convince users and investors of the long- term commitment of the EU; calls on the Commission to send a positive signal to the market to this effect;
Amendment 28 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 a (new) 6a. Stresses that not only is Galileo actually the first major EU-owned project of this type but that it also addresses a requirement that is in the public interest at EU level, thus justifying recourse to public financing; emphasises, therefore, that in the future, where large-scale projects such as this are concerned, a predetermined annual amount should be covered from the EU budget and that the Member States should mainly be responsible for financing any additional cost by making available supplementary funding to the EU budget, meanwhile identifying underspent areas of the EU budget, which could contribute to financing additional needs of such large- scale projects;
Amendment 32 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 6 b (new) 6b. Points out that the estimated figures included in the mid-term review for the period after 2013 remain purely indicative; therefore, suggests to have a fixed annual amount of €1.1 billion dedicated to Galileo in each year of the next MFF in order to increase the accountability, predictability and transparency of the project;
Amendment 38 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 7 7. Is disappointed that no additional financing for this programme has been proposed by readjusting the current Multiannual Financial Framework, leading to further delays, additional costs and possibly the loss of a ‘window of opportunity’; in that light, believes that FOC should be reached by 2018 at the latest, which according to the Commission would require an additional financing of at least EUR 1.9 billion and annual funding to cover operating costs of approximately EUR 800 million from 2014 onwards;
Amendment 48 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9. Is strongly convinced that additional funding for GNSS can only be secured if awareness of the benefits for the EU economy and society due to GNSS is raised considerably among decision- makers and the wider public; applauds the setting-up of concrete initiatives, such as the Galileo children's competition and the GNSS innovation prize;
Amendment 49 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 – subparagraph 1 a (new) Urges the Commission and the EU GNSS Agency (GSA) to put much more effort into raising awareness of GNSS with potential users and investors; in this context, stresses that Galileo is in the public interest at EU level and thus has a justified claim to financing from public funds;
Amendment 52 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 12 12. Calls on the Commission to integrate satellite navigation – an infrastructure technology of crucial importance – as a core element in the development of all other relevant Community policies;
Amendment 55 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 13 13. Points out that long-term stability is important in order to minimise additional delays, costly redesign, and destabilisation of the user base; in this respect, calls on the Commission to quickly submit legislative proposals on the future level of services, financing and governance of the GNSS programmes; furthermore, believes that it is vital for the good management of the programs to ensure the retention of relevant know-how and acquired expertise;

Amendment 95 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 10 (10) The EGNOS programme has been in the exploitation phase since its open service and ‘Safety of Life’ service were declared operational in October 2009 and March 2011 respectively. Absolute priority should be given to ensuring that the territory of the Member States is fully covered. As a second step, it would be appropriate to extend the coverage.
Amendment 100 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 18 (18) It should also be noted that the budgetary resources planned under this Regulation do not cover work financed by funds allocated to the Horizon 2020 programme, a Framework Programme for Research and Innovation ("Horizon 2020"), such as that associated with the development of applications derived from the systems. This work will help to optimise the use of the services provided in the context of the programmes, to ensure a good social and economic return on the investments made by the Union and to increase the know-how of businesses in the Union with regard to satellite navigation technology. Therefore the programmes should benefit from appropriate funding for European GNSS activities from Horizon 2020, which should mainly go towards the development of applications derived from the programmes, with the aim of maximising the socio-economic benefits of the programmes, and research on the development of new technologies (e.g. atomic clocks), to be used in the replenishment of European GNSS (for example, Galileo 2nd generation), so as to ensure that European GNSS programmes offer permanent added-value compared to similar programmes around the world.
Amendment 105 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 23 (23) The European GNSS Agency was established by Regulation (EU) No 912/2010 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 22 September 2010 setting up the European GNSS Agency, repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 1321/2004 on the establishment of structures for the management of the European satellite radio navigation programmes and amending Regulation (EC) No 683/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council in order to achieve the objectives of the Galileo and EGNOS programmes and implement certain tasks associated with the progress of the programmes. It is an agency of the Union which, as a body within the meaning of Article 185 of Regulation (EC, Euratom) No 165/2002, is subject to the obligations applicable to Union agencies. It should be assigned certain tasks associated with programme security, its potential designation as a competent PRS authority and its contribution to the marketing of the systems. It should also perform tasks which the Commission may confer on it by means of one or more delegation agreements covering other various specific tasks associated with the programmes, including tasks associated with the exploitation phases of the systems and promotion of the applications and services on the satellite navigation market. In order for the Commission, representing of the Union, to exercise its power of control fully, these delegation agreements should include the general conditions governing the management of funds entrusted to the European GNSS Agency. An appropriate transition period should be put in place to ensure the successful implementation of the new governance framework. Moreover sufficient human resources should be made available to European GNSS Agency during the transition period and beyond.
Amendment 106 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 24 (24) The Union should conclude a multiannual delegation agreement with the European Space Agency covering the technical and planning aspects of the programmes. In order for the Commission, representing the Union, to exercise its power of control fully, the delegation agreement should include the general conditions for managing the funds entrusted to the European Space Agency. Concerning activities exclusively financed by the Union, these conditions must ensure a degree of control comparable to that required if the European Space Agency was an Agency of the Union. An appropriate transition period should be put in place to ensure the successful implementation of the new governance framework.
Amendment 107 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 28 (28) As the programmes will be, in principle, financed by the Union, public procurement under the programmes should comply with Union rules on public contracts and should aim, first and foremost, to obtain best value for money, control costs, mitigate risks, improve efficiency and reduce reliance on a single supplier. Open access and fair competition throughout the supply chain and the balanced offering of participation opportunities to industry at all levels, including, in particular, new entrants and small and medium-sized enterprises (hereinafter ‘SMEs’), should be ensured. Possible abuse of dominance and of long- term reliance on single suppliers should be avoided. In order to mitigate programme risks, to avoid reliance on a single source of supply and to ensure better overall control of the programmes and their costs and schedules, multiple sourcing should be pursued, wherever appropriate. Union industries should be permitted to rely on non-Union sources for certain components and services where substantial advantages in terms of quality and costs are demonstrated, taking account, however, of the strategic nature of the programmes and of Union security and export control requirements. Advantage should be taken of public sector investment and industrial experience and competence, including that acquired during the definition and development and validation phases of the programmes, while ensuring that the rules on competitive tendering are not contravened. Precise assessment criteria should be included in each and every public procurement procedure.
Amendment 119 #
Proposal for a regulation Article 3 – paragraph 1 a (new) Over the period 2014-2020 and beyond, the following indicators and targets shall be used, inter alia, to measure the degree of attainment of the specific objectives of the Galileo programme: (a) cumulative number of operational satellites: 18 satellites by 2015, 30 by 2019; (b) on-ground spare satellites for maintenance: 2 by 2019; (c) terrestrial infrastructure deployed version: version 2 by 2015; (d) number of services implemented: 3 initial services by 2015, 5 services by 2020.

Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 14 (14) Given the long lead times involved and the levels of capital investment already committed to these projects, sufficient and consistent financial commitments over financial planning periods are required in order to ensure planning continuity, the organizational stability of the programmes and the security of European infrastructures, theirs systems and theirs functioning. In order to guarantee the continuation of the programmes, an appropriate financial framework must be established to allow the Union to continue to finance them. It is also necessary to indicate the amount of money required between 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020 to finance completion of the deployment phase of the Galileo programme and operation of the systems.
Amendment 27 #
Proposal for a regulation Recital 27 (27) In order to allocate the Union funds attributed to the programmes with a ceiling total that the Commission must not exceed, effective public procurement procedures must be applied and, in particular, contracts negotiated so as to ensure optimum use of resources, satisfactory services, smooth running of programmes, good risk management and compliance with the proposed schedule. Also, precise assessment criteria should be included in each and every public procurement procedure. The contracting authority must make every effort to meet these requirements.

Amendment 1203 #
Proposal for a regulation Annex 1 – Part 2 – point 1 – point 1.6 – point 1.6.3 a (new) 1.6.3 a. Enabling a maximised return on investment in European space infrastructure Exploitation of existing European space infrastructure should be stimulated by promoting development of innovative products and services based on remote sensing and geopositioning and space- based telecommunications. This need to promote innovative products and services, and, thus, the need to provide financial support to R&D&I initiatives, is also evident for the EGNOS and Galileo programmes due to the fact that such investment will ensure that the resulting products and services deliver significant socio-economic benefits. In terms of the funding package that has been proposed for space within the Horizon 2020 programme, a range of 15 to 20 % is seen as an objective that corresponds well with the potential that would be opened up by investing in R&D&I in respect of these systems. GNSS systems open up the possibility of new applications in the field of transport, and in numerous other areas of activity, in particular due to the precision of the data offered by the atomic clock that the Galileo satellite constellation is to be equipped with: energy, agriculture, meteorology, financial transactions, insurance, etc.

Amendment 526 #
Proposal for a decision Annex 1 – section 2 – point 1 – point 1.6 – point 1.6.1 – point 1.6.1.2 – paragraph 1 A number of challenges in space technologies have parallels to terrestrial challenges, for example in the fields of energy, telecommunications, natural resource exploration, robotics, security, and health. These commonalities offer opportunities for early co-development, in particular by SMEs, of technologies across space and non-space communities, potentially resulting in breakthrough innovations more rapidly than achieved in spin-offs at a later stage. Exploitation of existing European space infrastructure should be stimulated by promoting development of innovative products and services based on remote sensing and geo- positioning and space-based telecommunications. This need to promote innovative products and services, and, thus, the need to provide financial support to R&D&I initiatives, is particularly evident for the GNSS programmes which open up the possibility of new applications in numerous areas of activity, in particular due to the precision of the data offered by the atomic clock. This need is also particularly acute, given that EGNOS is already operational and Galileo also will be operational in relatively short time. A range of 15 to 20 % of the funding package that has been proposed for space within the Horizon 2020 programme is seen as an objective that corresponds well with the investment needed in order to meet the potential of delivering new products and services, and thus reap all the significant socio-economic benefits that are to result from these. Europe should furthermore reinforce the incipient development of an entrepreneurial space sector by well targeted measures.
